Doha: The School of Economics, Administration, and Public Policy at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, in collaboration with the Sudanese Agricultural Engineers Association (SAEA) in Qatar, held Saturday a forum on the effective partnership for achieving food security amid crises.

In a statement, the institute said the forum aims to shed light on the major challenges facing food security in Sudan amid political and economic crises and climate change.

The event brought together a wide range of official, charitable, and research institutions, including the Qatar Fund for Development, Qatar Red Crescent Society, Qatar Charity, and Sudan's Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, alongside experts, academics, and stakeholders in agricultural development and food security.

President of the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies Dr. Abdelwahab El Affendi stated that supporting agricultural efforts is essential in light of the growing global food challenges, emphasizing that agricultural security should not come at the expense of farmers, who often fall victim to unfair market and storage policies.
